A NEW mining camp has been dis
covered on the South Boise, about
forty miles northeast from Mountain
Home on the Rocky Bar road, says
the Range and Valley. 1t is on the
west side of the river, opposite John
Hardin's ranch, formerly known as
the Warm Spring ranch. The new
camp was discovered by Oliver Sloan.
He first prospected in that country in
the spring of 1880, for placer dig
gings. While securing that section
he found float rock that assayed
$225.25 per ton. Since that time he
has been working his placer ground
and prospecting for quartz at odd
times. On the 9th of last May he
was rewarded by a discovery and
made the first location on that day.
Since then he found three lodges that
assay from $17 to $1,000 per ton.
The rock is free milling, and the
lodges wide and strong. Last sea-
son Mr.. Sloane had two tons of rock
from each ledge milled at Rocky Bar,
by the free milling process. The re-
suit was $l7 and $lS per ton. He is
preparing to work them as soon as
the snow goes off. He also has a
large amount of placer ground which
he will work this spring. As soon as
capital can be secured he will bring
the water of Fall creek over by ditch.
The distance is about twelve miles.
The South Boise section will be vis-
tied this spring by many from Noun
tain Home and surrounding towns.

The bond on the Forest King, we
are told, holds until May 1st, and the
mine was bonded for $4,000. The
pay chute has been opened five or
six hundred feet and still continues,
both east and west. If this was the
full extent of the chute the mine
would be worth over $4,000. 1t
will require capital to run another
level, which will no doubt be run in
from the Elk creek side of the noun
tain, If the mine is sold. With
large mill the entire ledge could be
worked at profit, but it requires a
company strong financially to work a
mine on an extensive scale. The
Forest King would be, i'll the hands
of wealthy company, one of the
most valuable mines in Idaho. When
the present owners started in the
principal part of their capital consist
ed of faith and hope, muscle and per-
severance. They ran tunnel six
hundred feet through the toughest
rock that any company has ever driv-
en- through in the county, to open the
mine. The showing of the ledge
justified the building of mill, and
in very short time hve-stamp
crusher was up and banging away OIL
good ore, and has now been running
a number of years. The company has
worked the mine successfully right
along. The success that has beer
made on very limited amount O
capital and with small mill proves
the value of the mine, and is an indie,
of what could be accomplished by ;
company with capital sufficient t.
carry on operations extensively. W.
have no hesitancy in saying that the
present owners, If they had the finan
: cial strength to put up large mil
and tap the mine at greater. depth
would not think of selling for $50, ,00(

Carpet- Baggers.
Idaho Reporter.


1t will be interesting news to many
to learn that Governor Stevenson of
this Territory is carpet-bagger.
Yet such must be the case, for that
great Mugwump organ, the Oregoni-
an, of Portland, afTirms that he is.
True he came to Idaho some twenty
four years ago and has been a resi-
dent ever since, but that does not
signify. He Is classed with the car.
pet baggers just the same. The
Boise Democrat declares that he is
not carpet-bagger, but that he is a
new conner, and that the Oregonian
has therefore made a mistake of a
few months IN properly classifying
him.
As this term is applied nowadays
1t really signifies nothing, and favors
exceedingly Of the old "Mossback''
era. With those who belong to this
ante-diluvian epoch it seems to be a
favorite term to apply to every
official who did not arrive with the
traditional "49ers" or who are not
Indigenous to the soil, so to speak.
There are men 50 unfortunate as to
belong to neither class-good men,
too, and fully qualified to fill any po-
sition within the gift of the people.
Yet if they aspire to Office the term
"carpet- baggers" is at once reproach-
fully flung at them. A residence Of
a quarter of century seems to make
no difference. In order to fill the Of
fee satisfactorily they should have
been born fifty years ago at least.
and punched bull team across the
plains away back in the dim days
when Idaho was designated on the
maps as "unexplored regions"
The term first sprung into existence
shortly after the war while the ire
construction" of the South was going
on, and was applied to those favored
ones from the North who hied them
selves to the conquered though still
rebelllous, land of "Dixie" with a fed.
eral commission in their little grips
In those days it probably mean,
something and expressed the dislike
the chivalrous Southerners felt to-
wards any interference in their affairs
from abroad. Its use now is obsolete
and meaningless. 1t belongs to al
antiquated age and should be dis
carded.
